Questions since arose over the group’s legitimacy, alleging that PCRM is merely a PETA front. The self-described “association of doctors and laypersons” came under fire in the past for misrepresenting medical studies in order to promote a vegetarian diet.

Leaves one wondering which is the more cancerous threat to society, a little carbonized chicken or activists in lab coats issuing press releases.

Though i’ll sound like a total tool for saying it, you should all read The China Study before making inane comments about “everything causing cancer.”
It’s pretty likely that even a diet of liquor and cigarettes won’t get you as much cancer as a diet of bloody steak and sodey-pop.

The World Health Organization has determined that dietary factors account for at least 30 percent of all cancers in Western countries and up to 20 percent in developing countries. When cancer researchers started to search for links between diet and cancer, one of the most noticeable findings was that people who avoided meat were much less likely to develop the disease.

The problem isn’t that meat contains carcinogens; that’s not even a real issue. I know i’ll sound like a tool, but everyone should read The China Study before making inane comments about “everything causes cancer”. The guy who wrote it has more experience with tumors than the f’in cancer man on the x-files, and most of the studies were done by oxford and cornell, not wackos. It basically says you’re less likely to get cancer from a straight diet of liquor and cigarettes than from steak and sodey-pop.

All grilled or blackened food contains pyrolysis products from the burning of naturally ocurring organic compounds in the food. Some of these, benzyl-a-pyrene and PAH’s(polyaromatic hydrocarbons), are carcinogens. This has been known for decades. I guess the next step is to demand we boil or microwave everything.
